IRAN LOBBY THROWS TANTRUM OVER SHOES

By INU Staff

INU - A few days ago it was reported that US sportswear giant Nike would not be supplying free cleats to the Iranian World Cup team due to the new sanctions that the Donald Trump administration has levelled on the Iranian Regime.

Nike said in a statement: “The sanctions mean that, as a U.S. company, we cannot provide shoes to players in the Iran national team at this time.”

The sanctions mean that the US Treasury can come down hard on any company or person who violates them, with penalties of up to $1 million and 20 years in prison. No wonder Nike didn’t want to take their chances.
